Great sound to go with great videos

With the advent of YouTube, Instagram and the like, artists need ways to create impressive video material for their (potential) fans. And for musicians and bands in particular, that means that the sound has to pop. After all, the worst thing that can happen to a musician trying to build up a following is for their videos to have poor audio quality. Fortunately, the Japanese manufacturer Zoom has long been offering high-quality AV recording equipment at very fair prices. The Zoom Q2n-4K, which is also capable of 4K resolution, represents an affordable point of entry into the world of cameras for musicians.

A compact device for high-quality recordings

Why does a musician or someone who works in the music industry need a special camera? To begin with, the integrated microphones of almost all cameras and smartphones are simply overwhelmed by loud and complex music. It's not just that the microphones overload - good models can often handle that - but that the microphones used in such devices don't pick up the entire sound spectrum. The Q2n-4K is quite different, because Zoom has decades of experience in the development of compact and high-quality sounding recording systems. This surprisingly small camera - Zoom calls this type of device a "Handy Video Recorder" - is easy to operate right out of the box, even without a manual. This camera is capable of 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD) and 2160p (4K UHD) resolutions.

A better way to film

High-quality recordings don't need to be complicated. In fact, operating the compact Zoom Q2n-4K is like child's play. With only nine buttons and a simple and clearly structured menu, all settings can be quickly adjusted before pressing the Record button. A particularly practical feature is the rotary control on the side, which allows the user to adjust the level without having to work their way through the menu first. Another feature worthy of mention is that the Zoom Q2n-4K can also be used as a pure audio recorder as well as a high-quality webcam, e.g. for Skype calls and video meetings, which makes it a highly practical solution.

About Zoom

Founded in 1983, the Japanese company Zoom manufactures a variety of audio equipment, including a range of portable "handy" recorders as well as multi-effects processors, effects pedals, drum machines, and samplers. Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.

A super versatile recording tool

When one considers how time-consuming it used to be to film a decent video of a concert, the Zoom Q2n-4K seems like a revelation. Easy to use, a great picture, and above all good audio quality - and at a very reasonable price. Another practical feature is that the high-quality 150° wide-angle lens captures everything, even at a short distance from the stage. And since the integrated X/Y stereo microphone can withstand levels of up to 120dB without distorting, the Zoom can also be used without hesitation at really loud shows - or as a drum cam on the set. And if an even wider range of shots is required, users can set up one or two more cameras - with the Zoom Q2n-4K providing the good sound. Incidentally, if 4K resolution is not essential and "only" Full HD is enough, users can instead opt for the smaller and even more affordably-priced Zoom Q2n White.

The Camera for everyone!
MC91 24.05.2021
Finally, I found the easiest way to record great quality sound and movie in 4K without any special equipment !!
A handy, pocket-sized video recorder for every occasion. For me, as a musican, it works great for live streaming, you can connect it to a computer and send the recording directly to social networks. But when it comes to non-professional use - the device is very spacious and works everywhere, outdoors, in low light or in strong sunlight! (Of course, because it has twelve specialized stage settings, we can find among them Outdoor mode for recordings outdoors in daylight, Sunset, Night for night recordings, Concert Light, Jazz Club and Dance Club for various types of interiors, and also more saturated X-Process and Sepia and Monochrome filters. These settings can also be entrusted to the recorder (Auto mode) or left neutral (Flat) and any modifications can be made later in post-production) In addition, the 150 ° wide-angle lens and five field view modes!)
In auto mode, in my opinion, each recording will be well lit and balanced. So you can safely take it on trips, especially when it runs on 2 AA batteries, so you don't have to worry about losing the power adapter!
Actually, you do not need to worry about anything because this camera works on standard cables: audio listening via stereo jack 1/8 '', and thanks to the micro HDMI type D connector you can watch the recording in high definition on TV.
I love it, especially for this price, I think it is worth getting yourself such a gem, it will serve you for a long time!

Good for sound, not so great for video
DShustov 31.03.2021
Nice audio recorder. Love, that it can be used without extra handles.
Easy to use, built quality is nice.
However, I could not get a nice picture with it. Without extra lighting, I can not get indoor picture even at the daylight. Too much grain. My smartphone do a much greater job.
Maybe some user error, but I did not found how to get a nice picture with it. Sound quality is nice, though.

Great compact recorder - recommended for drummers!
aguidrum 31.10.2019
the camera is very easy to use, it's compact and offers a very good quality on videos and audios for the price.

preset settings are already very good, but of course to get the best results you need to spend a little time fiddling around with settings, which really takes an hour tops to try them all.

4k recordings require a compatible sd card (you can find the list on the product page on zoom's website).

of course this is not a pro videomaker tool so don't expect to look like a fancy youtube star after the first recordings, but for the price and the ease of use, you won't get any better!

sure, some phones offer amazing recording quality nowadays, but that usually drains battery and storage.

best thing is that you can power-supply the camera via usb through a charger so you won't have to replace batteries during the recordings, when indoor.

I am a drummer and use it to record practice, ideas and band rehearsals. It never peaks or distorts, unless set on audio only recording ad too close to the kit.

this has been so far one of the best investments i have made to improve my progresses.

highly recommended!

It was not as simple to use as I expected but once I got going it works well. Video is ok, but sounds amazing. I can certainly recommend it for band rehearsal recording
